Let’s Explore Student Accountability!

The Office of Student Advocacy and Accountability seeks to resolve situations involving student members of the university community when one or more of the individuals involved is alleged to have violated a university standard of conduct. Allegations made against recognized student organizations are also resolved through this office. We work to promote a campus community in which all members can live, work, and pursue academic goals successfully and without interference from others.

What to expect if you are alleged to have violated a Standard of Conduct

Our office receives reports from Housing and Residence Life, Marshall University Police Department, Huntington Police Department, and other law enforcement agencies, as well as through other members of the University community (i.e. professors, instructors, and other students). After receiving a report, the office reviews the information, and may conduct additional fact finding, to determine whether one of the Standards of Conduct has been violated.

Official communication and letters are sent through Advocate to students’ University email. Students can also log on to view case progress, letters, and upload sanction information.
